Responsive web development is a way of developing a website that automatically adjusts its content and elements depending on the device and screen size. Webpages are viewed in response to the size of the screen or device that one is viewing with. Responsive web development uses CSS, HTML, and sometimes Javascript to resize, hide, shrink, enlarge, or move the content according to the screen size and device used to view the website.

It gives you peace of mind when your website cooperates with any device that views your website. It is very important to have a mobile responsive website because more than half of the total internet traffic is from mobile devices.
